Hi Guys,

I have been lurking on this forum for couple of months. It really does seem to be the most conclusive resource I've come across regarding TRT.

I've started TRT today after a trying HCG monotherapy for 6 weeks without any improvement in my T Levels. I seem to have a few other things going on - borderline Hypothyroid, high Systolic blood pressure and no improvement in T levels whilst on HCG nor any improvement in anything else.

My symptoms seems to be inline with what I have been reading - No Libido, ED, Cant seem to loose weight regardless of how much I workout, Low energy, irritability and struggling with concentration. I started my own company last year which is going well but is challenging so I could really do with getting back to being at the top of my game mentally and physically.

I'll start another thread regarding my TRT journey. I have a few questions already.

Cheers
T

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
